Seeking job

A lot has happened.

I quit my job at the start-up. Just wasn't the right fit for me and too many icky things going on, so I didn't want to continue that position.

I've had one interview since then for a social media position, still waiting on it, but turns out it's an internship... which isn't what I'm looking for, I need to get paid to pay bills :( If I were still a student, the internship would be a great opportunity. They seemed like they could make it a paid position, but we'll see if they get back to me soon.

I haven't heard anything from the freelancing gig yet, they told me a week ago they would decide this week, but now it's Saturday. Perhaps I'm not shortlisted anymore or they're looking for more candidates, as I've seen several additional postings of the position, since. I'll follow up today.

Right now I've got a lot of video editing to do, which includes my recent trip to PAX 2014/Seattle and some volunteering projects. After I finish my first two projects, then I'll be left with my ongoing volunteer project, which will allow me to focus on applying for more jobs and going to interviews.

There's this one position in the arts community I could apply for... however it's an admin position. :( I know I have to get my foot in the door, but I am so sick of administrative positions, but then again all the ones I've held previously were for industries I wasn't really too interested in, but were curious of. Perhaps it could be different with this one? I know this would be a more casual environment so I would probably enjoy it more, and it's a FT, permanent position.... which means I could grow in the company, right? I think I will apply.

I just want to have a job where I am happy, learning, using my background and am getting paid decently or more. Also, a job where there is opportunity to grow.

Freelancing right now is hard for me because I need to learn how to branch out of my shell and reach out to other companies. I definitely need to do a search and ask companies if they're interested in video service.

I also don't want to be stuck doing admin work... it really takes a special person to do clerical work, and I'm not that person.

Job calls, please!! :)
